After exposure to E. coli, people can become ill 2-8 days later. Most people infected develop diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting. Some illnesses last longer and can be more severe, but most people recover within a week.

It's very important to safely prepare your raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160°F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures the internal temperature of the meat.
